"To touch souls and minds" - That's what I call "emitting the signal". No, I didn't mean supersonic beeps, I meant osanwe contact. So, I don't see any contradiction in our ideas.
But maybe you think that the Ring tried to touch souls and minds - to make manifest its presence intermittently? It is theoretically possible, but then some cases are hard to explain. For instance how come Gandalf the Maia, wielder of one of the Three failed to recognize this presence?

We find in the Reader's Companion that the Dûnedain sent for him because he was the only one who successfully might resist the Nazgûl.

I am not aware of this, though I have read the RC. Can you post the quote, please?

And, as Legate, I don't think Khamul was not paying attention. He should have had - after all, he was chosen to go to Hobbitton because of his sensitivity to the Ring.

Legate: More likely now, I would presume that someone else led the assaults on Lórien (remember there wasn't only one!) and that Khamul, or another Nazgul for that matter, would carry messages about the war to Mordor. That's a much better way of using the (Winged) Nazgul's abilities.

The best way was to send him lead the assault and when it failed, make him come to report about it in person.

Legate: So: Ulmo's power, yes, but not "direct", rather some "immanent" power.

Agreed.
